I have not seen a BCS that kicked up a head from the tap and needed to settle before, like Guinness. Black with ruby red edges, a thick tan head that takes several minutes to go away. Nose gathers a lot of brown sugar, that I first thought was maple, then a little cocoa, raisins and cinnamon. Taste is your usual thick Bourbon County, jacked up with those adjuncts. Not sure how to tell what the rice is doing here: just adding a little bit more to the alcohol? The beer does "dance" a little on the tongue. And I get an idea of strawberry and cherry.

Inmiddels al bijna 13 jaar oud... Schenkt zwart en wat stroperig, er is nog een minimaal schuimkraagje, waar hooguit nog een ringetje van overblijft. Geur is boozy, hoewel niet direct bourbon, umami, hout, iets zoet. Retronasaal is er meer zoetheid, boozy, maar niet overdreven alcoholisch, wat rood fruit, hout. Smaak is nog redelijk zoet (maar ik heb BCBS wel zoeter gehad), iets rood fruit en iets gebrand bitter, beetje drop zelfs. Alcoholgevoel is wel behoorlijk warm. Weinig CO2, wel een redelijk dik mondgevoel. Lange afdronk, iets bitter, houtig, gebrand. Toch wel anders dan vers, maar evenzogoed heul erg lekker.

Bottle. Color: Black, thin beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, vanilla, chocolate, praline. Taste: Praline, cocoa, roasted malt, vanille, lightly Boozy Bourbon, some marzipan and hints of anise. Chocolate cream cookies. Hints of Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Cream. Sweetish. A bit too sweet for me. Over medium to full body, below average carbonation. Medium to over medium sweet, light bitterness. One of the least BCBS beers I've had so far.

Shared with Caesar and ShivanDragon @ Mancave Bunnik. Opaque pitch black color, small brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, very heavy alcohol, roasty, soy sauce a bit, liquor. Heavy roast and alcohol. Seems too much barrel aging tbh, too heavy, too strong.
